Suggest Treatment For Hole In Cheek Due To Wisdom Tooth Growth

Hi so I have a wisdom tooth that grew in on the upper right side of my mouth. I've found a hole that seems to be from my wisdom tooth cutting into my cheek right beside my jaw. I know a lot of people say that they have the same issue and that they have a pain there but I don't. I'm going to make an appointment next week to see a dentist even though they scare me. I was just wondering if it's a huge issue?

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

My advise to you would be please get the wisdom teeth extracted if it gives you trouble.Until then you can relax.But since you have mentioned that there is already a hole(cavitation) developed,then this may damage other teeth too,due to food lodgement there.

Lack of accessibility makes it infection prone.
Therefore please speak to your dentist and take a x ray after which it can be comfortably extracted.
Thanks.
Take care.

The most common problem with a malpostioned third molar is an ulcer which will be associated with pain or a fibroma which develops over a prolonged period of time due to constant irritation. Best would be to do extract the wisdom tooth.
